The pre-runaway speech was beautiful, 10/10.

I really enjoy how you rip apart the engine to figure out what caused the failure! Oh ya and your meticulous disassembly of the truck and engine! Nicely done!

Surprisingly no haters saying you destroyed a perfectly working engine.

I've loving the new starting method....but geez, if that chain breaks, lookout everything in it's path!

The hands down best content creator on KZfaq. No bs, no fancy giveaways, just old school ways of doing things. Love it, don’t ever change!

Not gonna lie. I absolutely LOVE the sound of a Detroit 2 stroke.

Ol Bastards are tougher than one may realize. In my wrenching days, Detroits were very common. And many were a pain in the recktal region. Nice video!

I'm amazed at how well four cylinders survived after that amount of heat and WOT.

My neighbors nephew could have used that truck to get back and forth from school, he's studying to be an astronaut. He lost both his arms in a combine accident and cant work anymore to afford a ride, so this truck would have really helped him out. I guess you big fancy KZfaqrs don't know how hard things can be for us little folk.

Honestly just looks like you’re having to much fun, and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

I believe that Detroit 2 strokes should be saved... In trucks that are worth saving. That thing was a piece of junk. Great show to watch and certain bit of satisfaction knowing that it still held up for anytime at all under those conditions. Always love watching how you get those darn things out of the frame.

You've been nominated for a Emmy in two categories. Best goodbye speech and best post-mortem.

This would give what’s her face Greta, some joy. Going out in a blaze of glory. Thanks from.St. Paul Minnesota.

“Didn’t land any troops on the beaches of Normandy” that had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣

I love the way you one man started it. If I had old junk like this I'd be doing the exact same thing.

I gotta tell you. I worked on these pieces of junk many years. I often wished I could have done this many times. This was a very satisfying video! Thank you! What happens is the collets on the valves fail and then the valves fall into the cylinders.

Dude, we've missed you!!!

Is it possible for the next runaway to setup an RPM meter??? That would be way cool!!! The thing sounds like a jet engine, ready to take off!!!

As much as I like seeing old diesels tear themselves apart, that speech was AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time.

Very slick push start, bravo!

Hearing that 671 run brought back bad memories. Now I will have to go to therapy.

I had an injector stick on a brand new Detroit 60 series motor. Drove it from Ruse, Bulgaria to Kaiserslautern, Germany and it didn’t let go. Drained the oil when I got back and there was about 20+ gallons of fuel/oil mix in the pan

I love how you were like “no farmer wants to haul grain to the river in this. Matter of a fact there’s two farmers here. Do any of you wanna use this piece of shit to haul grain. Negative/hell no. They’re out.” Haha that’s great I love detroits but you’re right no feelings all worth the same as scrap. Keep sending it

the way you started that thing was pure genius

An ingenious way for a man to push start a truck for sure !

That is AWESOME!!! I could only imagine how that sounds in person.

Loved the delicate and respectful autopsy of the cab and donk 😄

Every time i thought it was gonna finally blow it didnt, just kept going. Incredible really

Damn. Do you know how many new GM cars were hauled to the dealerships with those low horsepower POS. It didn't matter. When you are making Union Scale. You got paided for everything. Plus got to sleep in a motel room every night. That was one of the best jobs in a American back in the Day. Back when American was really Great. 🇺🇸👍😎

Gotta be an old 16 cylinder locomotive motor sitting around nearby ready for one last go around.

Thank you for your service sir ,you let that old boy go out in style!

Crazy how people react to other people having fun, keep up the good content

Hell yeah!! Welcome back! Where ya ben?

Never clicked on a video so fast before, good too see you again!

Always learn something new when watching your videos. Keep them going.

Glad to see you're still kicking, haven't heard from you in a while thought I was going to have to make a checkup call.

Fuck yeah man! Glad to see you back. We’ve missed the hell outta ya!

Man I love to see it. Every time you post its a good day.

i love how you engaged the transmission! I was in stitches!

I enjoy your vids so much more just because your brutally honest about things

thank god he’s still posting. good to see ya

Me: that truck doesn't look that bad Me after 1:33: Holy fuck

Loved the speech,enjoyed the video 👍🏻

I love that screaming diesel sound. Awesome

At first I was thinking "Oh, what a cool truck", then saw its old and ragged out. Probably the most valuable parts of that truck are the fifth wheel hitch and what's left in the fuel tank. (With current fuel prices.) It's definitely worth more as scrap weight.

DUDE! GENIUS PUSH START! It comes with a key that you turn that will start the truck. You’re welcome! 🤪 We’ve missed your crazy ass! Great to see another video brother.

Still one of my favorite folks on this time wasting app. Thanks for taking the time to entertain!!!

Great commentary and an interesting bit of internal combustion history !!!!

I've been putting it out into the universe for you to upload, my wishes have been granted!!

Missed your content man! Glad to see you back! Happy 4th of July!

I'm amazed the fire department isn't at your place more often. 🤣

Kt man id love to see you put out more content man your shits amazing and your very knowledgeable and could go far doing this!

I love your videos so much. Your dry sense of humor keeps me rolling 😂😂. Thank you. Your rebuilds are absolutely beautiful to watch but love your work hard play hard attitude. Hope you have a great 4th.

Love these videos, thanks for posting it. Amazing how long those old Detroits will run in death-mode-enabled. Impressive.

My grandfather had a truck like that, 79 Bruin T/A dump truck, I loved it even though it sat until he sold it recently, This video pains me to the point of tears

Seriously cannot get enough of this

This channel is amazing more runaway truck diesel content I love this stuff more tire burnouts thanks

Great to see you back!! Having a blast blowing up a "perfectly good antique" green grenade lol!! This one sounded pretty wild. Maybe a little sniff of propane would get a bit more RPM ha ha!!

That speech was honestly amazing!

first time i seen a push start like that , nice one 😀

Always very informative watching your videos along with the colorful use of words to describe everything. One of the best, if not the best channel for my viewing pleasure on KZfaq.

i literally laugh my ass of during ur vids because ur smart ass humor never ends. you never disappoint KT. 👍👍👍👍

Some people shoot off fireworks for the 4th, these boys blow up engines. Thanks for some great carnage and content. Best $10 worth of diesel I have seen used.

Nice, was looking forward to another one of these!

Glad to know you’re alive. Enjoyed the belt flying at ya lol. Hope all is well hand.

Modified and tested by KT? Way to go 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Amazing that held together that well!!

As a farmer looking for a cheap single screw day cab, I approve of this video. You could write it off as educational and still scrap it.

Hot damn I thought we'd lost you after the last video was taken down glad you're back!

That’s absolutely the crazy way I ever see anyone push start a truck. Love it man. Keep up the great content

Awesome video sir thanks for sharing it

the sound was crazy on video, cant begin to imagine how it was standing out with it.

Love the videos as usual, Thanks again.

I enjoy seeing runaways

Never seen a solo bump start like that before.

i love your dry sense of humor its brilliant :)

I love your roll start!!

Happy to see another one of your science experiments man! Hope to see another one soon!

Here comes another episode of mayhem!!! cant wait!!!

"I want to clarify something for you real quick.....This is a piece of s**t" Absolutely brilliant man. No other way it could have been said. Love the channel.

we had a 1977 Detroit Deisel and it survived 2 runaways at 6000 rpm. it finally died last year. we pulled it apart and it had thrown a rod. (not out the block mind you.) had signs of piston/valve contact on cylinder 4 3 and 6. and a snaped valve spring on cylinder 1. but surviving two diesel runaways? that thing was a trooper

By the way that engine was singing, i thought for sure she was gonna sling a rod through the block and to the heavens but it stayed together for the most part. She was trying tho 😂😂

I seen a lot of young guys break into driving on these piles. I seen where those engines did a days work... running air compressors on drill rigs. I worked for a guy who had gambling fever, so he would drill a pit for someone, take that money and bet the horses. He would catch two or more hundred dollar place but never the big payouts. I didn't have anything better to do... he is saying if it will just bore a few more holes, I will get back on top again... I made it run and had old engine oil from other rigs changes... just kept it in oil.... I will be dipped in owl poop, that sorry engine kinda tightened up and started running good for what ever reason. I tried hard to get him to sell it while there was a dollar to be made but nope an I told him that that last engine was the last save, no more. It ran great for a few weeks... we had walked down from the pit to eat in the shade, he had left it running. I was just taking a bite of cold food (tastes better than nothing) and seen some white smoke a curling in the air... he was going to run up and try to shut it down but I just hung onto him... and just when I was about to second guess myself, that motor made the god awfullest sound and ran against the governor not more than a couple minutes and then "Bang".... no more tuning on that crap hole that left you black walking by it.

I see a video you post, I instantly click on it! Your stuff is pure gold! Thanks for sharing as always bro!!👍👍💪😎

Pop started various vehicles in many ways, but that chain start is a Hoot! Must have lots of faith in that chain ⛓️

Heck yes finally a video. We all know it will be epic. Just hit the like button before watching because it’s will never a good one. Happy 4th of July

It is amazing they run as long as they do.

That SOB is mint! Good job!

The blower screaming for life was cool to hear. Awesome vid man.

What was the point?

How about some more Cat engine builds??? Glad to see another video from you!!!! Keep them coming!!!

Brutal, love it keep up the good work. Film a rebuild I live watching you do that.

The little talk before the engine was so funny wow I love this channel

I'd say she had a few more hours of standard operating time left. Testament to the old Detroit engines 👌

Man! An old M&G Convoy truck. Hauling new cars to the dealership. My dad drove one of these trucks for years. I fondly remember riding in these trucks as a kid. I can remember going to the yard where there were about 30-50 of these things parked.

Say what you want, The engine and the truck as a hole for over 30yrs of service did a dam good job to make this far. I will be lucky if my 2022 Honda with a CVT lasts for 80 thousand miles. So many people are suffering because of the new emission (DEF) problems. Great video! Thanks

Badass vid. Sweet to see the tear down after

I really love the sound of a screaming two-stroke Detroit! I still think this would be a great motor for a Tesla!!! This video definitely made my weekend. Please have a safe and healthy Fourth of July!😎🇺🇸👍

Some more of this a little more often would be great !

Man I love the hell put pf these vids you put up! Good shit!

So glad to see you back on here man. Love this shit
